first commandment

one,

The next morning, Slein woke up from his dream and opened his eyes.

His fingers moved and touched the smooth paper.Then he raised his hand, unlike before, the hand he stretched out to the ceiling was no longer empty.There was an extra light blue paper card in his hand, with blue embossing on it, covered by a transparent plastic film.

The girl handed it to him before leaving in a hurry.

"Don't forget me, Slein Troyet." The girl with the look of a little adult said in a serious tone, "We will see you again."

He didn't understand why she was so sure that the two would meet again, but he just held the not very delicate embossed paper card in his hand and watched her disappear at the other end of the door.

Covered under the plastic film is a small cluster of blue forget-me-nots with brightly colored golden stamens that still look as fresh as when they were picked.

He lowered his raised arms and re-examined the gray wall above his head.

The arrival of Flora was just a small pebble thrown into the huge lake, and the waves it stirred up quickly disappeared without a trace as time went by.It was so fast that it was doubtful whether she really existed, or was it just a dream.

He closed his eyes, listening to his peaceful heartbeat, but his fingers unconsciously sketched the shape of the flowers covered under the plastic wood.

[Don't forget me, Srain Troyet. 】

The girl's voice echoed in his ears.

She didn't seem to understand that it was very difficult for him to forget her.

Because she resembles that person... so much.

eight years later

#Weisser

In the silent universe, Yang Lucheng silently looked down at the earth.

And in a room in this mysterious and cold building, over a goblet filled with fine wine, a young girl's jasper-like eyes reflect the blue planet.

The room was very quiet, except for her, only a young lord sitting opposite her was quietly observing her.Looking at the blue planet outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, she suddenly showed a dreamy and intoxicated smile.That languid and elegant look, as always, attracted Jazz's heart.

"Your Highness," he called softly, as if he was afraid to burst the bubble of dreamlike silence, "are you looking forward to it?"

She glanced at him and shook the bright crystal glass in her hand.The purple-red nectar made her slender fingertips even whiter.

She knew that the young Earl was referring to the opening ceremony of Aldnoah's No. [-] Furnace, which was coming up next week, after five years.

...cum the first friendly visit of the First Princess of Weser, Flora Weser Cloris, at the behest of Queen Atheram.

"How can I not look forward to it? Sir Jung." She put on a dignified smile that was different from just now, "After all, this is the first time I have been there since the time eight years ago. A beautiful planet full of life , our parent star, has a large amount of air that can refract light..." She paused, "Oh, no, the blue sky is due to Rayleigh scattering."

Jung sat on the sofa opposite and looked at her puzzled.It doesn't matter to him whether he can understand her words, because he can read the beauty in her words and deeds.In her eyes, everything about her is beautiful.This is the most important.

The golden short hair is as dazzling as the sun, the tail of the hair is slightly raised, and it playfully draws a perfect arc on the chin.Compared with her stable and generous mother, she has more unpredictable, clever and lovely parts like an elf.

Those eyes fascinated him even more.Jung said nothing, looked at her silent profile, and watched her raise the goblet in her hand.

"Such a beautiful planet is not suitable for red... Don't you think so? Your Excellency Jung."

She looked thoughtfully at the distant blue celestial body through the purple in the cup.

"Not suitable, Your Majesty."

Jung seemed to think of something else, and fell into his thoughts.

"Are... are you ready? Your Excellency Jung," the young girl raised her head slightly and took a sip of wine out the window, "I'm ready."

"Of course." On the opposite side, Jung, who was about the same age as her, clenched his hands into fists on his knees, and looked at her, his eyes showed the light of confidence that was inevitable.

"I'm ready, Your Royal Highness Princess Flora."

Flora Weisser Cloris nodded in satisfaction, then raised the cup in her hand again.

"Very well. So, let's drink to the future of this beautiful planet."

An amazing day.

This is a perfect description for October [-], [-].

It's been 18 years since the last Martian princess, now Queen Atheram, made her first visit to Earth.Time flies, and now the one who is about to step onto this land is Atheram's only daughter, the first princess of Weiser, Flora Weisser Cloris.The peaceful bond between the earth and Weiser will be passed on from this, and it will soon enter the next generation. For the earth people who yearn for peace, it has to be said that it is an exciting and exciting moment.

After landing safely, the princess immediately held a press conference.

The blonde princess, who appeared in front of the camera on Earth for the first time, has a beautiful and peaceful face that is almost exactly the same as her mother's when she was young, with a serene and friendly smile.

"Princess Flora was wearing a light blue suit, and she greeted the government officials from Earth who came to meet her."

Less than a few minutes after the press conference was held, the front pages of the online media were filled with news like this.Netizens' comments came more vigorously, but among the praises for Princess Flora, there was no shortage of voices attacking Mars.

"It is said that Flora is not very popular in Weiser, whether it is the royal family or the rail knights."

"I heard that she is a main combat faction."

Such sharp words against the tide stung the excited netizens and poured a bucket of ice water on their enthusiasm.Because they love peace, and naturally see Flora as the heir to Earth-loving Atheram.Attacking Weiser's peaceful power is tantamount to killing their good thoughts on peace, and it is tantamount to insulting the good intentions of the kind and beautiful princess and queen.

"Shut up! You sailors are shit-stirring sticks. Will your "everyone is drunk but I'm sober" look make your lunch better tonight, Luthor."

"Where did you hear such rumors? Her Royal Highness Princess Flora is the daughter of Her Majesty Queen Atheram, how could she be a main fighter. Go and see the photos of Queen Atheram when she was young. Their mother and daughter are so similar, they are exactly the same!"

Kaizuka Inaho, who had nothing to do and swiped social software, frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.

As for whether Atheram and her daughter were similar, he felt that he, who knew Atheram when he was young, had the highest say.

His answer was: no, not at all.

For those who don't know Atheram, indeed, the facial features and body of the two are similar.But for Inaho, no, not like that.

As for what is different, he can't say.

Where is it not like?

He stretched out his index finger and pressed on the screen of the terminal, rewinding the video of the press conference, and began to watch it for the fifth time.

Still can't tell where the difference is.Puzzled, he put the terminal on the table. While thinking about this problem, he put on the military jacket, buttoned every button subconsciously and skillfully with his fingers, and smoothed the corners and collar of the jacket.

He looked at himself in the mirror with a blank expression.

As an old friend of Queen Atheram when she was on Earth, he was appointed to be the guide of the little princess.

There are few wrinkles on the face of the middle-aged man in the mirror, probably because of the lack of expression.

Before you know it, 18 years have passed.

He sighed in the mirror.

On the terminal placed on the table, the playing video was paused at the moment when Flora looked at the camera.

The cheerful smile of a 16-year-old girl is still on the cold screen.

Until after the press conference, when he came to the embassy to meet Flora, Inaho Kaizuka still couldn't figure out where the strange feeling she gave him like a thorn in his heart came from.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kaizuka."

The princess in a mother-of-pearl-colored shoulder-length evening gown held out her hand to him, and he bent to take it, kissing her slender fingers wrapped in silk gloves.

"It is a great honor, Your Royal Highness Princess Flora."

He raised his head, and saw a familiar figure appearing beside Flora.It was Edellizo, Atheram's former maid, who gave him a slight nod.Inaho was not surprised either, just smiled and nodded at her.

"Mr. Kaizuka," Flora seemed very happy to see him, and invited excitedly, "Please be sure to sit next to me at the banquet tonight, I have prepared a seat for you."

He was taken aback for a moment, a little unable to understand her enthusiasm.

"Ah, please forgive me," Flora quickly sensed his hesitation, and quickly explained, "I really want to ask you a lot of things. My mother often mentioned to me her experience on Earth back then, and she often mentioned You. I was very curious, so I arranged it without authorization."

……

Weirdness, strangeness.

Her expression was sincere, and there was no omission in her words, but Inaho just found it strange.This kind of strange feeling has never been felt when dealing with Atheram.

But he knew he had no right to refuse.

"Follow your orders, Your Highness."

Inaho's expression remained unchanged, carefully observing Flora's expression.After getting his approval, she showed the cheerful smiling face of an impeccable 16-year-old girl. She didn't feel a little disturbed by his scrutinizing eyes, and she was still calm and generous.

She took Inaho's arm and entered the banquet venue.After briefly expressing her greetings, she sat down with the senior officials from Earth, and the rest of the people also sat down following her actions.

The dinner went on peacefully.During the short time waiting for the food, Flora did not ask Inafan about the past as promised, but made a short and unnutritious conversation about today's blue sky.

"The inhabitants of the earth are really happy. If possible, I also hope to stay under this blue sky for a few more days. It's really amazing, the azure blue color shown by the refraction of water vapor..."

While the persistent feeling of strangeness jumped in Inafan's heart, Flora who ran out of these words cast her eyes on the waiter holding the silver plate, and the corner of her mouth raised a cunning arc that did not match her previous image.Although that smile was just a flash of light, Inaho, who had been keeping his eyes on her body, keenly caught it.

He understood that she had a plan for coming here this time, but before he had time to think about the deep meaning of her smile, his thoughts were interrupted by the gradually rising noise of discussion.

"what is this?!"

The wife of an official present couldn't help letting out a cry after the waiter lifted the cover.She first thought that something was wrong with her dishes, so she looked at the other guests present.I saw that everyone had the same surprised expression on their faces, and all the dishes on the plate were the same thing.

And Flora, who was sitting in the honored guest's seat, had crooked eyes and an innocent smile.

"Ah, this. This is Weiser's special delicacy that I brought to all of you here - algae and krill. It was carefully prepared for you by the chefs of our country. You are welcome, please use it."

Having said that, a group of people still stared at the things on the plate without appetite.Inaho glanced at the things on the plate, there was a brown-green lump, and a red lump.Appears to be edible, but serving something like this at a formal dinner is a bit off-putting.

Those who still had a little hope for the taste and those who were drumming and didn't know what the princess's purpose kept silent on the plate, while those sensitive and short-spirited people who were originally hostile to Weiser couldn't help showing With a resentful expression, she stared straight at Flora.

Are you kidding me?

Is not likely to?Do you think I'm teasing you?

The angry crowd and the princess completed this silent conversation with various expressions on their faces.

After taking a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, Flora spoke again:

"Try these before the next luxurious dinner, it will be more effective than the aperitif, let's whet your appetite..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of a guest smashing tableware on the table.

"What do you mean? Your Highness." When the man raised his eyes, his eyes were full of hostility and contempt.

"It doesn't mean anything else, as I said before, but I want you to taste Weiser's ingredients. As you can see, these are the daily staple foods of our country's civilians." She smiled and replied.

"That means that His Highness eats the same on weekdays?" The man sneered, "If not, why would His Highness show his sympathy for people's suffering here and now? This is Earth, not Weiser."

Flora was not provoked, but her smile faded a little.She leaned back in the chair behind her.

"You don't need to remind me of this, I know it well," she said with a slight smile, "If I have the ability to let the people of Weiser eat all kinds of delicious food like everyone on Earth, I will not hesitate."

"You don't have to worry. The various contracts reached between Weiser and the earth will bring Weisser supplies, and the situation will gradually improve." Another peacemaker who wanted to settle the dispute said.

"After all," she ignored that person, and stared straight at the official who had just started to ridicule her, "for the people on Earth who have plenty of supplies, the food of my Weiser civilian is actually an insult."

An awkward silence enveloped the entire venue.The Earth officials present looked at each other, but didn't know how to answer her.

Flora seemed not aware of this undercurrent, and continued:

"Weiser and the earth have concluded a treaty of friendship for more than ten years since the last war ended with the efforts of Her Majesty Queen Atheram. With the help of the earth, weiser's production has been enriched, and Aldnoah No. [-] furnace will also be in A few days later, it will continue to bring power to the earth," she said with a sharp smile, and looked at the officials who just tried to calm things down, "Although the lives of the Weiser people are still unsatisfactory compared with ten years ago, but as you can see Said, this is just the beginning, the situation will gradually get better."

Inaho remained silent, listening to her talking to herself.She stood up, the red wine in her hand was as red as blood under the light.

"I was so offensive just now, please forgive me. Although I am different from my mother, Her Majesty Queen Atheram, I am still young and lack a lot of experience, but my love for the earth and Mars is the same as hers," she said, raising her glass , the water shadow was cast on her face, rippling uncomfortably, "Respect for peace. Respect for the earth and Weiser."

Inaho looked at her, and the flame of uneasiness in his heart burned higher and higher.

He could already predict that she, who provoked the earth officials on the first day of her visit, would not have an easy time in the following days.It's just that he still doesn't understand what her intention is for doing this.

He stopped looking at her, stood up and raised his glass with the others, taking a sip of the wine in his glass.

The author has something to say:

Atheram's access to the throne basically relies on the core technology in her genes and her royalist husband. The foundation of the throne is very embarrassing. I don't think she can effectively restrain the remaining orbital knights.As for the people on Earth, not to mention the impact of hatred left over from the war, it would be strange if Weiser could honestly provide food and clothing when it comes to interests, and they must negotiate.When negotiating, Atheram's side may be restrained due to various reasons, and of course the main reason is that she does not want to fall out with the earth again.

Of course Flora's goal is more than that, and she doesn't want to start a war, but it's okay to pretend to scare people.The responsibility for the lack of food is not entirely on the earth's side, and it is also related to the orbital knights who colluded with the forces on the earth.Flora will deal with them one by one.
